Welcome to 2025!

 January 2025

Wow it has been a second since I have done one of these! The holiday season was a lot busier than I was expecting and unfortunately doing these blogs was one of the things that went to the back burner so I would have the time to sneak in some art. A lot has happened so lets get in to it.

Thank you for the support in 2024

This year has been my best year as an artist. Not only did I do a bunch of art, but I had the opportunity to do a lot more shows too. 14 of them, with 3 of them being out of state! It was such a relief to see the out of state shows do so well, i always worry because it costs a lot coming down from Alaska. I was able to be a guest artist for the first time at Twin Cities Con, which is something I wasn't expecting but welcome to see (I was expecting a normal artist alley table). I also started the monthly sticker club in August and that has been going really well. Ive always wanted to do one of these since I am signed up for a few, and it's cool to see that finally in action. As we approach the 10 year mark of doing this professionally, I am happy to announce that I will be focusing on my art full time in 2025. I quit my day job and I'm going to follow my dream of being a full time artist. This is a new chapter in my art journey and I'm excited to share it with you. This wouldn't be possible without you. Whether you came to my table and bought some art, liked a post, or watched one of my videos... Thank you. This allows me to keep doing what I'm doing and I appreciate that so much 💕

It's the new year, I need to do inventory

Shop is closed for the month of January! This will let me stock up local businesses and get my inventory updated in time for Alaska Comic Con. Unfortunately with how the economy is right now, I will also have to increase my prices just slightly. It won't be a big increase, but it is hard to make ends meet at the current prices. The shop will open up on February 1st! There will be new prints in this shop update, as well as a few new stickers as well. Stay tuned! I will reveal them on social media as the time draws closer.

Sticker club news!

For the month of January you can get this white raven holographic sticker! This exclusive sticker comes with a random sticker from my inventory as well as a small print, and is mailed right to your door. If you like getting art in the mail or if you are a bird lover then I highly recommend signing up for the sticker club this month! Envelopes go out on the 24th of January so sign up quick.

Behind the scenes

If you didn't know, I stream weekly on twitch as well as post time lapse videos of my art on YouTube! It would mean a lot if you went over there and dropped a like and a follow 🙂

What's in the works?

Right now I'm working on a lot of commission work. I got a few of them lined up and I'm eager to get them done and off my plate so I can work on my own stuff. Top priority right now is the fantasy bird guide Volume 2. I need to have 20 bird illustrations done before March, which is a lot to do! I am also continuing the Star wars and state bird series, more on that soon. Remember that red dragon with his flock of chickens? I'm also working on a comic for that and hope to release it sometime this year. I'm also going to continue the double raptor portrait series as well... We're going to make a card deck out of that one. Those are the big projects and of course I'll still be doing random bird and landscape illustrations as well. You know the usual. If you want to keep up to date with what I'm up to and what art I'm creating, be sure to follow me on social media!
